Studies on the convergence club have become a focal point in economic growth and development literature over the last three decades. This paper analyzes the club convergence hypothesis going beyond the traditional use of GDP per capita. It examines the convergence club of 97 Pakistani districts over the period 2004-20015. The analysis is based on an augmented index for measuring development through convergence and the clustering method of Phillips and Sul (2007). The index consists of 3 sub-indices of education, health, and household welfare level, with each index further composed of 5 indicators. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to aggregate these indicators to get sub-indices and a final development index
